Olaseni Oshifala, the biology
teacher at Queen’s College accused of sexual molestation of students last year,
has finally been posted out of the school.

Oshifala was posted to King’s College, an all-boys school, by the education
ministry in August. The posting of the controversial teacher, pending the
conclusion of a fresh investigation, was not made public by the education
ministry.

He has since reported at his new duty post. In June, Adamu Adamu, the minister
of education, said government was reopening investigations into the Oshifala
case.

In March 2016, Chinenye Okoye, a student, had alleged that Oshifala sexually
molested her. Some other students reportedly made the same claim. The claims
sparked off a public outcry as parents and citizens called for the prosecution
of the teacher.

However, an investigative panel set up by the education ministry cleared
Oshifala of any wrong doing because “none of his accusers was willing to
testify publicly”.

Queen’s College old girls had set up an investigative fact-finding panel which
indicted the teacher and also revealed that the accusation by Chinenye was the
sixth against Oshifala.
